SWEET Rocks On: 'Live 25' Set for October Unleashing

Metalville has set the stage for an epic October 23 international release of SWEET's electrifying live album, aptly titled 'Live 25'. This isn't just another album; it's a testament to the enduring spirit of rock, capturing the raw energy and passion that SWEET has delivered to fans for decades.

Following the release of their critically acclaimed studio effort 'Full Circle' in 2024, which marked their first entry into the German Top 20 since their iconic 1978 album, the band is primed to showcase the new material alongside beloved classics. Fronted by the indomitable Andy Scott, SWEET promises a setlist that includes not only fan-favorites but also a few hidden gems that have long been relegated to the shadows.

Scott emphasizes the significance of 'Live 25': "This isn't just a live recording; it's a celebration of SWEET's ethos. Since the dawn of the '70s, performing live has been in our DNA, and that fire burns brighter than ever. So crank the volume and lose yourself in the chaos of a SWEET show!" The album will feature tracks like 'Action', 'Hellraiser', and 'Ballroom Blitz', ensuring both new and long-time fans are treated to a whirlwind of nostalgia.

The current lineup, consisting of Paul Manzi on lead vocals, Lee Small on bass, Tom Cory shredding on guitars, Adam Booth on drums, and Scott himself holding down the guitar and vocals, has proven to be a formidable force. Together, they conjure a magic carpet ride of sound that elevates the live concert experience to an otherworldly level.

As SWEET gears up for their 'Final Blitz Tour' in Australia set for late 2026, the legacy of this British rock institution continues to evolve. With the band’s tumultuous history and the passing of key members, SWEET remains a beacon of resilience, bringing both heart and heavy rock to stages around the world.
